Poll: Playing surface at Arrowhead
Listening to the KU/MU game on the sirius the other night, I only could listen to the MU broadcast. Actually not a bad broadcast even if it was MU...
I like the annoucer when his player was scoring... "Hes at the 30, 20, 10, House!!!!" Different but pretty cool. Okay, back to topic. I couldnt help agreeing with them, but the grass surface at Arrowhead is shit. They blasted the field all broadcast calling it prue crap and one the of the worst surfaces MU has played on all year, even dogged the shit out of the surface last year... So with all the upgrades to Arrowhead, when will they switch to NextTurf and get rid of the painted grass and dirt? |

Hopefully sooner rather than later. They should have changed it a long time ago.

The field looked like shit. The middle was a different color then the outside part and it just looks gross overall. Why dont they hire a new grounds crew? I don't remember Denvers field looking like shit or Green Bays.

I am not sure? Shit if MU and KU can have really nice NextTurf fields, why does Arrowhead have to look like a worn out playground...

For what it's worth, I play soccer games weekly on FieldTurf and I don't see what the problem is. The surface actually feels softer/squishier than most grass fields. In fact, I think it is too squish. I feel like I'm running on sand. Also, it still gives you rugburn, unlike grass. There is no substitute for nice grass, but keeping that up in the winter (especially when it's wet and with multiple events) has to be a bitch. |

Something needs to be done.
The current field can't even take the beating from 10 Chiefs games, much less the 2-3 college games it hosts every year, and the occasional soccer game. |

Need to go to a FieldTurf field. I would rather have grass but our weather and so Arrowhead can hold more events at the stadium, a FieldTurf field is the only way to go.

"INTERCEPTED! And dropped." "Tackled at the 30, forward progress to the 39." "Tigers 3rd and 2 at the 40. Washington with the handoff, goes left, CUTS UP THE SIDELINE, moves forward and is tackled. ... It will be 4th and 2 at the 40." I do like his "TO THE HOUSE!" calls. I think he's better at basketball. |

His "Tackled at the 30, forward progress to the 39." Was getting very frustrating.... |
